Context regarding flashprog vs flashrom
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It was suggested by a reader, on 27 March 2024, that the lack of context made
|
||||||
|
judging this situation very difficult. Therefore, the following links have
|
||||||
|
been added, with explanation below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
More context can be gleaned from the following links:
|
||||||
|

||||||

|
||||||
|
* <https://mail.coreboot.org/hyperkitty/list/flashrom-stable@flashrom.org/thread/RTP3UKMMGWUEVTS5XUFRCXXL24UE4FRV/>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first link is the mailing list post, where the new flashrom leader unilaterally
|
||||||
|
announced Nico's banishment from the project, without giving actual evidence
|
||||||
|
to back up her accusations (accusations which are made in the very same post).
|
||||||
|
Several other flashrom developers weighed in, some taking the side of the new
|
||||||
|
leadership, and several others taking Nico's side. What happened to Nico was
|
||||||
|
unfair. As already stated, Libreboot will promote flashprog, *not* flashrom,
|
||||||
|
from now on.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Not only were such accusations made, but Nico was initially given his own
|
||||||
|
repository on the coreboot project, for his project, which he then
|
||||||
|
named *flashrom-stable*. See:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* <https://review.coreboot.org/admin/repos/flashrom-stable,general>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, as you can see (at least on this date, 27 March 2024), this repo has
|
||||||
|
been hidden from view. Nico was banned from even having flashrom-stable on
|
||||||
|
the same infrastructure as flashrom, which uses the coreboot infrastructure.
|
||||||
|
This later lead to Nico establishing the Flashprog project.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Libreboot stands with Nico and his Flashprog project. Anyone contributing to
|
||||||
|
flashrom should consider working for flashprog, either in addition to or
|
||||||
|
instead of flashrom. Libreboot will continue its boycott of Flashrom until
|
||||||
|
its current leader, Anastasia Klimchuk, steps down from the leadership, and
|
||||||
|
even then only after reparations/apologies are issued to the accused.
